In a joint statement following talks, Xi Jinping and Putin stated that the war in Ukraine could only be resolved by removing its “root causes”.

Such formulation clearly echoes key Russian propaganda messages used by the Kremlin to justify the launch of the full-scale war, including the threat of NATO expansion, discrimination against Russian-speaking people and the suppression of the Russian language, culture and media in Ukraine.

    Why don’t we split that shit up? Russia is so large and has so few people in comparison they might as well be a bunch of smaller states who can’t threaten their neighbors like that.

      Ah yes partitioning by foreign powers has always gone so well in the past! Why don’t we try that again? I mean just look at Israel/Palestine and India/Pakistan! What great success stories 🥲

        Why don’t we let them split them selves? They already did it once before

          Ah yes the breakup of the USSR went incredibly well, good thing there’s no ongoing conflicts over disputed territory from that split up going on in Ukraine

            If I despute if you are a human, instead of s bot, then isn’t my despute a bit of a stretch?

            Saying Ukraine is disputed territory is a bit of a stretch, it’s just imperial ambitions by Putin. Ukraine is older than the USSR and Russia.

            Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons to get security guarantees from Russia.

      Denuclearise them too, but to assure them stability, promise to protect them.
